Thanks guys...the calculated ball heigth I developed on my own though others may have done it. I have not seen it mentioned anywhere else. I just never had a big flat piece of slab everytime when needed. As far as setting the ball mount, thats old school eaz-lift from the 70's. Now that we got F150s pulling 35 foot trailers, I'd like to take a crack at the weight ratings scene. These simple instructions will work for most folk who are not maxing out their rig, but I want to make it…

<p>Best explanation I've ever seen on this subject. And, remember folks, DO also have a anti-sway bar too.</p>

Very informative litature David. You have definitely passed on some very wise info on the subject. I liked how you blended in the safety factors,I.e. relieving the load before removal. I've seen numerous accidents and injuries when people try to release the bars under a load. Very good Tip article. Thanks for sharing.

<p>Id like to edit this a little but not sure how. I know a few folks are pushing the envelope a little maxed out rigs where this may be too simplified for them. weighing the vehicles and trailers to be sure that GCWR and GVWR ratings are within limits but the other tutorials give you no place to start with ball height and platform pitch etcetera. Let me say this: start with this set up, measure front fender height before hookup and after with WD hitch, adjust spring bar tension to get near…</p>

<p>David, we are much enjoying your articles. I do wish there were some way here on our home page to display their link permanently. The 'modules" that power our GORVS web site are out of room in the How To section which is kind of our permanent link home for this kind of excellent information. I think I'll put it in our Members Restoration albums on center of the home page... it's the only place I have any room left. And,unless my dumpster diving in the alleys of high income homes gets better…</p>

And,unless my dumpster diving in the alleys of high income homes gets better I won't be buying a $200 a month web page to it'll have to do... Again, thanks for all the posts. pat</p>
